Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of quantum computer technology, and in particular to a quantum state construction method, quantum computer equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Quantum computer devices are a new type of information processing system based on the principles of quantum mechanics. Due to their inherent parallelism, these systems have the ability to solve problems that are difficult for classical computers to handle. For example, the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm, which is at the core of current public key encryption systems, faces exponential difficulty for classical computers when the length of the number increases. In contrast, quantum computers can efficiently factorize such large numbers using Shor's algorithm in a short time.

[0003] Quantum superposition is the cornerstone of quantum information theory, which enables qubits to represent not only the classical states 0 and 1, but also any intermediate state. Classical bits are limited to one of these two states, 0 or 1. In the quantum realm, qubits can exist in a superposition of |0> and |1> at the same time, or any other combination of these states. While classical information processing is deterministic and relies on binary digits (bits), quantum information processing is probabilistic and utilizes qubits that can be in any superposition of 0 and 1.

[0004] The key challenge in the current development of quantum computing is to find a stable and scalable physical implementation system. Existing quantum bit solutions include spin quantum bits, photon quantum bits, defect quantum bits, superconducting quantum bits, etc., but they still face bottlenecks such as decoherence and control accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a quantum state construction method, a quantum computer device and a storage medium to achieve the effect of obtaining a quantum state in a carbon nano-atom model.

[0006] Because carbon nanomaterials exhibit unique energy levels and spin distributions when subjected to different external charges. In particular, for some quantum dots, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) exhibit unique spin configurations, such as only spin-up or a combination of spin-down and spin-up. It is worth noting that under certain conditions, the sum of the electron occupation numbers of HOMO and LUMO is always 1, and the occupation probability of these orbitals can be adjusted by temperature.

[0007] On the one hand, the method for constructing a quantum state in the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1. Establish atomic models of carbon nanomaterials containing different extra electrons;

[0009] S2. Perform first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, and analyze the electron occupation probabilities of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the atomic model according to the energy level formula;

[0010] S3, adjusting the temperature of the environment where the atomic model is located, and determining an effective carbon nanomaterial atomic model in which the HOMO and LUMO electron occupation probabilities are always 1 under temperature changes;

[0011] S4. Based on the atomic model of the effective carbon nanomaterial, the occupied state of its electrons is a superposition state of HOMO and LUMO, and the sum of the probabilities of these occupied states remains unchanged at 1, which is regarded as a quantum bit to construct a quantum state.

[0012] Furthermore, the carbon nanomaterial atomic model is composed of zero-dimensional, one-dimensional or two-dimensional carbon atoms and additional electrons.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of the additional electrons is 0-6.

[0014] Furthermore, the zero-dimensional carbon atom is C100 fullerene, C60 or C140 fullerene, the one-dimensional carbon atom is a carbon nanotube, and the two-dimensional carbon atom is a square graphene.

[0015] Furthermore, the first-principles calculations were performed using the Vienna ab initio simulation package, using the projected augmented wave method, and the exchange-correlation energy was treated using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional based on the generalized gradient approximation, where the cutoff kinetic energy of the plane wave basis set was set to 400 eV and the convergence threshold energy was set to eV. The atomic positions were fully relaxed until the force exerted on each atom was less than 0.01 eV / Å; the supercell used in the calculation had a vacuum layer of at least 20Å in all three dimensions to prevent interactions between adjacent carbon nanomaterials, so that only one k-point was needed to represent the Brillouin zone; the spin-polarized and non-spin-polarized states of all models were calculated to determine their stability; the total energies were compared and the lower energy state was selected as the ground state for subsequent analysis.

[0016] Furthermore, the energy level formula is the Fermi distribution formula of the electron occupation probability of a given energy level:

[0017] (1)

[0018] Where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, and E F is the Fermi energy, E is the energy of the individual energy level, and f is the occupation probability of the energy level;

[0019] The electron occupation probabilities of HOMO and LUMO at different temperatures are calculated according to formula (1).

[0020] Furthermore, when considering the effect of temperature on energy levels, the energy level formula uses the Fermi energy correction formula for the electron occupation probability of a given energy level:

[0021] (2)

[0022] Where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, is the original Fermi energy, E F Corrected Fermi energy.

[0023] The present invention also provides a quantum computer device, comprising one or more processors; a storage device for storing one or more computer programs; when the one or more computer programs are executed by the processor, the processor implements the quantum state construction method as described above.

[0024] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the medium stores a computer program, characterized in that: when the computer program is executed by a processor, the method for constructing a quantum state described above is implemented.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: based on first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and using the Fermi level formula, it is obtained that under a specific combination of additional electrons, the carbon nanomaterial presents an energy level distribution in which the sum of the electron occupancy numbers of HOMO and LUMO is always 1, and the occupation probability of these orbits can be adjusted by temperature, thereby reducing the complexity of constructing quantum states in quantum computers and providing a new basis for quantum computer calculations.

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a quantum state determination method provided in Example 1 of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to determine the quantum state after quantum computing is performed in a quantum computing device. The method can be performed by a quantum state determination device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware and integrated into a device with data processing functions, such as a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. Establish a one-dimensional carbon nanomaterial model consisting of a (5,5) carbon nanotube containing 100 carbon atoms and 0-6 additional electrons;

[0039] S2. First-principles calculations were performed based on density functional theory (DFT) to determine the electrical and spintronic properties of carbon nanotubes under different external charges, and the electron occupation probabilities of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the atomic model were analyzed according to the Fermi level formula. In this step, the first-principles calculations were performed using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) using the projected augmented wave (PAW) method. The exchange-correlation energy was processed using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional based on the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The cutoff kinetic energy of the plane wave basis set was set to 400 eV, and the convergence threshold energy was set to eV. The atomic positions were fully relaxed until the force exerted on each atom was below 0.01 eV / Å. The supercell used in the calculations had a vacuum layer of at least 20 Å in all three dimensions, large enough to prevent interactions between neighboring carbon nanomaterials and to represent the Brillouin zone with only one k-point, thus calculating both the spin-polarized and non-spin-polarized states of all models to ensure their stability.

[0040] Furthermore, the Fermi level formula used in this step is:

[0041] (1)

[0042] Where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, and E F is the Fermi energy, E is the energy of the individual energy level, and f is the occupation probability of the energy level. Using this formula, we calculate the electron occupation probability of HOMO and LUMO of the established carbon nanotube carbon atom model at different temperatures, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0043] At this time, according to the Fermi level formula, the electron occupation probabilities of HOMO and LUMO at different temperatures for C100 carbon nanotubes with 1, 3, and 6 extra electrons are obtained as follows: Figure 3a-3c shown.

[0044] When the possible influence of temperature is taken into account, the energy level formula adopts the Fermi energy correction formula:

[0045] (2)

[0046] Where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, is the original Fermi energy, E F Corrected Fermi energy.

[0047] Under the Fermi energy correction formula (2), the electron occupation probability of HOMO and LUMO at different temperatures is obtained, as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0048] S3, adjusting the temperature of the environment where the atomic model is located, and determining an effective carbon nanomaterial atomic model in which the HOMO and LUMO electron occupation probabilities are always 1 under temperature changes;

[0049] In this embodiment, the effective carbon nanomaterial atomic model is a (5,5) carbon nanotube with 3 extra electrons; the electron occupation probabilities of its HOMO, LUMO and HOMO+LUMO changing with temperature are as follows: Figure 3a As shown, the sum of HOMO+LUMO under the Fermi level formula is always 1; under the Fermi energy correction formula (2), as Figure 4 In the normal temperature range (300K-500K), the influence of the Fermi level on the occupation probability of HOMO and LUMO is negligible.

[0050] S4. Based on the above-mentioned atomic model of effective carbon nanomaterials, the occupation state of its electrons is a superposition state of HOMO and LUMO. The sum of the probabilities of these occupation states remains unchanged at 1 and is regarded as a quantum bit to construct the quantum state.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] On the basis of Example 1, in step S1 of the method for constructing the quantum state, the carbon nanomaterial atomic model is selected as a zero-dimensional carbon atom, that is, the carbon atom of C100 fullerene as the basis, with 0-6 additional electrons, and the electron occupation probability of HOMO, LUMO and HOMO+LUMO changing with temperature is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0053] In this embodiment, the effective carbon nanomaterial atomic model is a model in which C100 fullerene has 4 and 6 extra electrons, and the sum of HOMO+LUMO is always 1.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] On the basis of Example 1, in step S1 of the method for constructing the quantum state, the carbon nanomaterial atomic model is selected as a two-dimensional nanomaterial composed of square graphene, which contains nearly 100 carbon atoms, and the electron occupation probabilities of its HOMO, LUMO and HOMO+LUMO changing with temperature are as follows: Figure 6 As shown;

[0056] In this embodiment, the effective carbon nanomaterial atomic model is a model in which the two-dimensional nanomaterial has 4 and 6 extra electrons, and the sum of HOMO+LUMO is always 1.
